For dynamic plugins, you can try installing
the SDK examples using the update manager and choose to "Apply Now",
without restarting. You should be able to launch the SWT samples, etc.
in the same eclipse session.
Use the http://update.eclipse.org/testUpdates
as the update site.

There's nothing on dynamic UI. 
- try to add a plugin, make sure it is there 
- add a plugin with any of the following (can use combinations too):
        perspective 
        view 
        editor 
        new wizard 
        perspective extension 
        action set 
        action set part association
        working set 
        popup menu 
        preference 
        property page 
        font definitions 
        decorator 
        theme 
and verify the existence of the new piece in new Eclipse.

To test adding  a new plugin: 
- run a self hosted Eclipse (Runtime Workbench) with the program argument
"-console".  The 'console' view of your original Eclipse
should display a prompt "osgi>" 
- use the following commands at the osgi> prompt:
        ss - gives a summary of all plugins present
('resolved' plugins are available in the self hosted Eclipse)
        reference:file:/<full
path of plugin> - adds a plugin and gives you a bundle number (remember
this number) 
(Example: reference:file:/d:/EclipseEnvs/3.0/I20040529/eclipse/workspace/org.eclipse.ui.tests/data/org.eclipse.newPerspective1)
        refresh <bundle number> - 'resolves'
the plugin related to the bundle number (remembered from 'reference' command
earlier) 

Note that for a plugin to be available in Eclipse you must do both the
reference and refresh commands.  Use ss frequently to find out what
state your plugin is in.

the RC2 Test plan has been posted here: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/testfix/index.html

with a link to the full test plan here, your name will appear beside areas
you are responsible to test: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/testfix/componentAreaTesting.html

I am going through this a second time to ensure we have coverage of new
items but did not want to delay.
